Description: Karlsbad, CZECH REPUBLIC - Sprudel-Kolonnade -1906: Karlovy Vary (German: Karlsbad; English: Carlsbad) is a spa city situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of Prague (Praha). It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River). It is the most visited spa town in Czech Republic. In the 19th century, it became a popular tourist destination, especially known for international celebrities visiting for spa treatment. The city has also given its name to the famous delicacy known as "Carlsbad plums". These plums (usually Quetsch) are candied in hot syrup, then halved and stuffed into dried damsons; this gives them a very intense flavor. This Divided Back Era postcard, copyrighted in 1906, shows a colonnade to the spa. The card is in good condition, but it shows some edge wear. Verlag: V.P. 1906. Karlsbad. No. 220.
